시라비소 고원 주변 × 만족도 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

I joined this Hotel’s stargazing event. After dinner, starting at 8:00 PM in the main hall, the director of a nearby observatory gave a slideshow talk about the night sky. All guests received an observation-event brochure and, as a gift, a wonderful photo taken in front of the Hotel by a local photographer. For the outdoor observation session, the Hotel blocked light from its windows, so we could clearly see the Milky Way. It was an ideal time to watch the Perseid meteor shower, and thanks to clear skies we saw many shooting stars. With plenty of explanations from the director as well, it was a very enjoyable stay.

First of all, every dish was exceptionally well seasoned and delicious. The cave hot spring was mixed-gender, but bathing garments are provided, so you can enter with peace of mind. We were also able to spend a pleasant time with another couple who were bathing at the same time. Throughout the inn—and from all the staff—we felt thoughtful attention to detail everywhere. The forecast for that night was cloudy, but we still got to see a sky full of stars and were completely satisfied. We had planned to stay one night after an Alps hike and booked this inn almost on a whim, but it turned out to be one of the very best places we have ever stayed—easily among our top one or two.
